A color wheel with six equal sections, blue, red, green, yellow, black, and white, was spun 150 times. The results are summarized in the table.

What is the experimental probability of landing on white? Express your answer in percent form.(1 point)

White is 45

1 answer

To find the experimental probability of landing on white, you can use the formula:

\[ P(\text{White}) = \frac{\text{Number of times white was landed on}}{\text{Total number of spins}} \]

From the information given, the number of times white was landed on is 45, and the total number of spins is 150.

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ P(\text{White}) = \frac{45}{150} \]

Now, simplify the fraction:

\[ P(\text{White}) = \frac{45 \div 15}{150 \div 15} = \frac{3}{10} \]

Next, to express the probability as a percentage, multiply by 100:

\[ P(\text{White}) = \frac{3}{10} \times 100 = 30% \]

Thus, the experimental probability of landing on white is 30%.
